If you don't have the space to just leave your soldering iron sitting out all the time, Instructables user McLovinGyver shows off how to make a movable electronics station that folds down into a small box.

McLovinGyver's box includes a place to hold a soldering iron, a ton of shelves for different components, and the best part, a compartment for wire on the side. The whole thing is built inside a wood box so it's easy to move around and set up without taking up a lot of space. Of course, you don't have to use McLovinGyver's exact build. The main goal is getting everything into a box small enough that it's not in the way.
